Award by
Sir,
In continuation of paragraph 9 of my
(4) despatch No.844 of 21st November, 1938, in which I
sought your approval of certain resolutions passed
by the Legislative Council on 10th November, 1938,
I have the honour to ask your approval of a further
resolution, of which a copy is enclosed, passed by
the Council on 22nd December, 1938.
2.
This amendment of the schedule to
Ordinance No.11 of 1934 was unintentionally omitted
from the earlier resolution referred to above. It
provides for the reduction of Item 3, Vehicular
Ferry, from $1,915,603.80 to $1,911,450.97.
Expenditure on this work was completed in 1937 and
the lower figure is the final figure of expenditure.
The savings thus realized have been allocated to
other Heads of the Loan Schedule.
3.
It is regretted that your approval of
this resolution was not sought earlier.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
1. bot. Worthern
1.4.
Governor.

MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,
